The death investigator's decedent owned a 2002 Honda Civic. The contact stated that after the decedent stopped at a stop sign, they attempted to make a left turn and struck another vehicle on the passenger side. The decedent's air bag was deployed which caused trauma to the decedent's neck. The decedent's vehicle caught fire shortly after impact. The other driver attempted to remove the decedent from the vehicle as authorities were called to the scene. The decedent received medical treatment at the scene and was later transported to the hospital. The decedent was pronounced deceased approximately 30 minutes after arriving at the emergency room.

THE FRONTAL AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AFTER AN IMPACT. I WAS GOING BETWEEN 35 AND 40 MILES PER HOUR WHEN I BROAD SIDED A VAN. MY CAR IS TOTALED. THE FRONT END IS DEMOLISHED. BOTH MYSELF AND MY PASSENGER WERE TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL AND RECEIVED CHEST INJURIES AND NECK INJURIES. THE SENSOR FOR THE AIRBAGS IS COMPLETELY EXPOSED AND CRUSHED WHERE THE FRONT END OF THE CAR USED TO BE. I DID CALL HONDA EXPECTING THEM TO BE AT LEAST INTERESTED BUT THEY WERE LESS THAN INTERESTED. I CALLED BACK AND ASKED TO SPEAK TO A SUPERVISOR BUT THEY REFUSED TO LET ME DO SO. THEY DID SAY THE AIRBAGS ONLY DEPLOY DURING A "SEVERE" IMPACT. I POINTED OUT TO THE GUY THAT THE OWNER'S BOOK SAYS "MODERATE TO SEVERE". HE JUST SAID "REALLY?". I TRUSTED HONDA LIKE MOST CONSUMERS DO. I DON'T ANYMORE. *JB
CONSUMER'S VEHICLE STRUCK ANOTHER VEHICLE HEAD ON AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. CONSUMER AND PASSENGER SUSTAINED INJURIES. *AK
TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2002 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING APROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THERE WERE INJURIES SUSTAINED BY THE CONTACT AND THE OTHER DRIVER, WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED FROM THE SCENE AND DEEMED TOTALED. THE VEHILCE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THERE WERE NO RECALLS ASSOCIATED WITH THE VIN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.
RECEIVED NOTICES IN THE MAIL FOR NHTSA RECALL 14V-351, 11V-260, 14V-319, 15V-320, AND MAYBE OTHERS? BROUGHT VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE (INVOICES ATTACHED). ACCORDING TO CREDIT CARD RECEIPT, I PICKED UP VEHICLE FROM SERVICE STATION ON 12/19/2015. TO SUMMARIZE, THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WAS SAID TO BE PART OF THE RECALL AND WAS THEREFORE REPLACED. THE DRIVER AIRBAG WAS SAID TO NOT BE PART OF THE RECALL AND THE ORIGINAL WAS REINSTALLED INTO THE VEHICLE. ON 3/10/2016, AN SUV DROVE OUT FROM A SIDE STREET WITH STOP SIGN AND OUR VEHICLES COLLIDED. THE SUV WAS STRUCK ON ITS LEFT SIDE TOWARD THE FRONT END AND MY VEHICLE WAS STRUCK ON THE FRONT END TOWARD THE RIGHT SIDE. MY VEHICLE'S PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATED BUT MY VEHICLE'S DRIVER AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. PHOTOS ATTACHED. MY HEAD STRUCK THE WINDSHIELD TWICE DURING THE IMPACT OF THE ACCIDENT. THOUGH MY CONCUSSION SYMPTOMS HAVE IMPROVED A GREAT DEAL, I CONTINUE TO EXPERIENCE SYMPTOMS.
MY 2002 HONDA CIVIC LX WAS TOTALED IN A LOW SPEED 2 CAR ACCIDENT. THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER FRONT AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. MY PASSENGER SUFFERED MINOR BRUISING FROM HER SEAT BELT. MY INJURIES INCLUDED SECOND DEGREE BURNS TO MY THROAT AND THE TOP OF MY HANDS. THE EMT'S, MEDICAL PERSONNEL IN THE ER, AND DOCTORS AT THE BURN UNIT SAID THE BURNS WERE CAUSED BY CHEMICALS EMITTED FROM THE AIRBAGS. IN ADDITION TO SEVERE PAIN AND MEDICAL BILLS, I LOST THREE WEEKS OF WORK WHILE MY BURNS HEALED. THE TREATMENTS AT THE BURN UNIT AND THE DAILY TREATMENTS AT HOME WERE NAUSEATING AND AT EXCRUCIATING. THE SCARS ON MY HANDS HAVE FADED BUT ARE STILL EVIDENCED BY THE PATCHES OF RED DISCOLORATION. THE BURN ON MY THROAT HAS HEALED WITHOUT SCARING BUT I HAVE TO PROTECT THE AREA FROM SUN EXPOSURE. I MUST PROTECT MY HANDS FROM THE SUN FOR AT LEAST A FULL YEAR AFTER THE ACCIDENT AND HAVE TO BE CAREFUL NOT TO SCRATCH MY HANDS AS THE SKIN IS STILL DELICATE. THE HONDA OWNERS MANUAL AND AIRBAG BOOKLET FOR THE CAR BOTH SAY THAT THE POWDER THAT COMES OUT OF THE AIRBAG IS HARMLESS UNLESS YOU ALREADY HAVE RESPIRATORY PROBLEMS AND BREATH IN THE POWDER. THEY SAY ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT THE DANGERS ASSOCIATED WITH CHEMICAL BURNS RESULTING FROM THIS POWDER, EVEN THOUGH, AS THE EMT'S AND DOCTORS INFORMED ME, THEY COMMONLY TREAT THESE BURNS. THEY DID STRESS THAT THE BURNS WERE CHEMICAL AND NOT JUST ABRASIVE. I CALLED AND SPOKE WITH A HONDA REPRESENTATIVE NOT LONG AFTER MY ACCIDENT WHO WAS VERY INSISTENT THAT MY BURNS IN NO WAY COULD HAVE RESULTED FROM THE CHEMICALS IN THE AIRBAGS, EVEN THOUGH HE IS NOT A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL AND DID NOT WITNESS MY INJURIES. IT WAS INSULTING TO HAVE MY CLAIMS THOROUGHLY DISMISSED BY HONDA AFTER ALL THE LOSS AND PAIN MY BURNS CAUSED. MY CONCERN IS THAT HONDA AND OTHER AUTOMOBILE MANUFACTURER'S (I'VE LOOKED AT OTHER OWNER'S MANUALS) NOT ONLY FAIL TO WARN CONSUMERS ABOUT THE RISK OF CHEMICAL BURN FROM AIRBAGS BUT ACTUALLY CLAIM THAT THE CHEMICALS ARE HARMLESS! *JB

Exposure of the aluminium negative terminal to the electrolyte can cause a chemical reaction, leading to material degradation around the electrical connection. This compromises the connection's seal and can cause an electrolyte leakage. This can lead the terminals to crack, rendering the vehicle inoperable due to electrical failure. If the battery remains live, a spark can occur, posing a risk of a vehicle fire. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
A reduction in the amount of grease in the steering gearbox during use results in dangerously fluctuating torque during steering. This can create a loss of vehicle's control and increases the risk of accidents and injuries. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
On wheels without pressed-in hubs made of alloy steel, the tightening torque of the wheel nuts is too low and could cause the nuts to come loose while the vehicle is in motion, resulting in a risk of wheel loss, accident and injuries. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
Due to a problem during the production process, the vibration of the engine can cause cracks inside the high-pressure fuel pump. This may lead to a fuel leak, increasing the risk of fire. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
Due to a faulty circuit board in the passenger seat weight sensor, the passenger seat’s occupant detection system may identify a Steering Wheel Sensor (SWS) error and the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) warning light could switch on. This can cause a faulty triggering of the airbags, creating a risk of injuries for a child occupying the passenger seat. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
The fuel pump impeller's defective molding can cause the impeller to have low density, which can lead to cracking. This can result in the impeller absorbing too much fuel, deforming, and potentially causing the fuel pump to fail. This failure can lead to the engine stalling while driving or failing to start, creating a risk of accidents and injuries to vehicle occupants. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
